Kim Zolciak may need to borrow more money from daughter Ariana Biermann as she owes more than $1 million in taxes and other fees, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The Bravo star's series of unfortunate events have multiplied after the 47-year-old and her husband Kroy Biermann, 39, were evicted from their home in April by U.S. Marshalls - which they had been renting since it was sold in January for $2.75 million.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum has already had her house taken away from her, and now, she's accumulated a shocking amount of debt and owes people, including her attorneys, and credit card companies nearly two million dollars in total.
The total amount she currently owes is $1,800,451, according to various court filings and tax liens. However, the number could be higher due to accrued interest and other late fees.
The amount that Kim, as well as the former Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman, owe to the government is $1,147,834.67, which has yet to be paid off.
A federal tax lien was filed against them in April 2023 for owing: $714,143.90 for their 2018 taxes, $330,126.29 for their 2017 taxes, and $103,564.48 for their 2013 taxes (bringing the total to over $1.1 million).
The Biermanns were issued a state tax lien for $15,104.72 in March 2023. The lien, filed in Georgia, shows that they have yet to pay this off and that the current payout amount is $17,610.40. The payoff amount is valid through July 7, and then it could increase.
In addition, a statutory lien was filed in August 2024 against Kim and Kroy for unpaid assessments of $7,972 on their former marital home. The total amount will include 'late fees, statutory interest, the cost of collection including reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred and such other amounts that may come due and owing,' per the filing. This also has not been paid off to date.
The Biermanns also owe Simmons Bank $226,836.22 plus additional costs after a default judgment was ordered by a judge in October 2023. However, as of October 2024, a FIFA filing - obtained by DailyMail.com - was issued since they failed to pay the principal amount of $226,836.22, plus foreclosure fees of $2,071.57, attorney fees of $1,945.31, interest of $178.51 and court costs of $322, totaling $231,353.61.
In February 2024, another lien was filed against Kim specifically for not paying attorney fees of $33,191.65 in her divorce against Kroy. The lien was filed by attorney David Beaudry of Meriwether & Tharp.
According to the filing, the total amount is 'expected to increase, plus interest.' DailyMail.com reached out to Beaudry for comment.
The reality star's attorney's fees are piling up. She also owes another attorney, Rachel Snider - now with the law firm Snider & Snider Family Law - an estimated $143,950.91 for her divorce from Kroy.
An attorney's lien was filed by Snider on three separate occasions in 2024: once on May 15 for $11,788.00, then on May 31 for $77,019.91 and another on October 25 for $55,143.00. These three liens will increase since the court filings state that there will be 'accrued and accruing interest at the rate of 18 percent per annum.'
The attorney's liens filed by Snider have yet to be paid off. DailyMail.com has reached out to her for comment.
Kim still owes money to Target/TD Bank after a default judgment was entered in March 2024. Following the judgment, the court ordered A Writ of Fieri Facias, meaning the sheriff may seize her assets. She owes, per the judgment, a total of $2,661.09 for the principal amount, court cost and post judgment interest.
Separately, Kim has been involved in a legal battle with American Express since 2018. In September 2021, Amex filed an affidavit of continuing garnishment against the star after she failed to pay the default judgment of $215,847.68, plus $29 for court costs (bringing the total owed to the credit card company $215,876.68). They have yet to receive this chunk of money, court records show.
Kim's daughter Brielle Biermann was also sued by Amex in August 2023, but a month later, the claim was voluntarily dismissed by Amex without prejudice.
DailyMail.com has reached out to reps for Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann for comment.
Kim, herself, accumulated more credit card debt in the past, but DailyMail.com can reveal that these have been dismissed in court.
She was sued by JP Morgan Chase Bank in December 2023 for owing $4,624.02. However, as of March 2024, this case has been dismissed without prejudice 'for failure to prosecute,' meaning JP Morgan did not appear at a peremptory hearing and did not move forward in filing motions in the case.
Kim was also embroiled in a legal battle against Saks/Capital One. They filed a complaint in August 2023, claiming the TV personality hasn't paid the principal sum of $156,080.64. However, it was later dismissed without prejudice in February 2024 after months of inactivity and no response from the housewife.
In another complaint, filed by Bank of America, the filing showed she owed the credit card company $56,224.07. However, this case was also dismissed in April 2024 after Bank of America 'had not perfected service by the date of the no-service hearing.'
Earlier this month, Kim's daughter Ariana revealed in the premiere episode of Bravo's new reality show, Next Gen NYC, that her mom and stepfather spent all of her hard-earned money.
The 23-year-old influencer revealed she started making significant income from brand deals and sponsored social media posts as early as age 14 - but alleges her parents wiped it out.
'I was doing like three posts a week and you get paid astronomical [sic] to do a story or to do an Instagram post, and I made quite a bit of money,' she said. 'But, unfortunately, my parents took my money.'
The couple filed to end their nearly 12-year marriage in May 2023. They've been embroiled in a nasty legal battle since, making public their disputes over their Georgia mansion, police calls, custody of their four minor children - Kroy Jagger 'KJ', Kash, Kaia, and Kane - and financial support.
Kroy previously accused Kim of gambling away $1.5 million, according to court documents. He alleged that his ex blew through more than $600,000 on luxury shopping sprees over a seven-year span as she frequented high-end retailers like Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Chanel.
Amid her financial woes, the Don't Be Tardy star has been selling some of her used Balenciaga and Prada handbags. Over the past two years, the blonde bombshell has been slowly getting rid of some of her prized designer items as well as those that have belonged to Brielle and her husband Kroy.
Kim and Kroy have since called off their divorce. In February 2025, they filed a joint dismissal to voluntary dismiss their divorces against each other - he filed a complaint for divorce in August 2023 and she filed a counterclaim in October 2023.
